Most child sexual abuse gangs made up of white men - Home Office report

Study of England, Scotland and Wales dispels myth of ‘Asian grooming gangs’ popularised by far right

The majority of child sexual abuse gangs are made up of white men under the age of 30, an official paper has said.

It found that while offenders come from diverse backgrounds, groups tended to be of men of the same ethnicities. Money and sex were motivations as well as a sexual interest in children and misogyny, the review said.

I will come back later and re read the report and the rest of the comments but for now: some quotes from the 'Group Based CSE Paper'
(for information - at the last census - 'white' - makes up 81% of the UK population)

"Where data was available 30% of offenders were White, while 28% were Asian."
"Where data was available, ‘White’ was the largest category."
"Of the 52 groups where data provided was useable, half of the groups consisted of all Asian offenders, 11 were all White offenders, 4 were all Black, and 2 were exclusively Arab. There were nine groups where offenders came from a mix of ethnic backgrounds. Looking at the offenders across all groups, of the 306 offenders 75% were Asian.:"
'This study found that 42% were White or White British, 17% were Black or Black British, 14% were Asian or Asian British, and 4% had another ethnicity.'
'Lastly, the Police Foundation (Skidmore, 2016) looked at group-based CSE in Bristol, and found that those from ethnic minority backgrounds were over- represented compared to the local area.'
